Casa BelaVista. Totally private luxury 3 bed home with fabulous views

As the name suggests the house sits at the head of shallow valley with stunning views towards the coast nestled on the edge of a sleepy and tiny Portuguese village. The private detached 3 bedroom home sits within beautiful lawned gardens adorned with flower beds and shrubs with the 10 meter by 5 meter pool offering total privacy. The interior design is open plan and split level offering interior decor to a high standard. A short drive away from the home you will find many other attractions.
Coimbra, a 20 minute drive away, is an ancient city with a famous university and is a great place to tour around and experience Portuguese life with cafés and restaurantes on every corner. Tomar, another historical city is a 30 minute drive south boasting the famous Convento de Cristo
A 40 minute drive takes you to the coastline with endless sandy beaches and the nearby Roman ruins of Conimbriga are well worth a visit. A walk around the ramparts in nearby Penela castle has great views towards the Serra de Lousã and the Parque Biological Zoo in Miranda do Corvo will keep the children entertained for several hours. Wild river beaches, a short journey away offer an exciting alternative to the normal beach.
On foot you can take off on numerous local paths to explore the nearby countryside. Cakes and morning coffee await in either of the local cafés, a 10 or 15 minute walk away. Condeixa, Miranda and Penela have fish and vegetable markets as well as the larger supermarkets.

Wonderful and Relaxing Stay
Casa Belavista is a wonderful property. It has everything. Inside it’s spacious, very well presented and well equipped. Outside it has a lovely large pool, and a large and beautifully maintained garden with a beautiful vista. It’s so quiet and peaceful and a great place to escape and unwind, but accessible to many places such as Coimbra, Lousã and the stunning hill villages of that region. The host couldn’t have been more helpful. We’re so glad we chose and stayed at the property.

Stay here if you can!
This is a really lovely property: large, modern, beautiful, comfortable. It is in a small village, and is 1-2 hours away from many wonderful Portugal experiences, including, the sea shore, Douro Valley, Porto, Schist Villages, Tomar (must see the Templar castle there), Fatima, and more. As Americans, we were happy to drive and have a great home base to return to each day. Steve is a wonderful host. Definitely choose this property if you can.

Loved the house
Very nice secluded house. Everything we could want in the kitchen. Loved having screens on the windows so we could keep them open most of the time. Pol was a little cold for us but the weather had cooled so that is expected. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful relaxed break
Just returned from a lovely stay at Casa BelaVista. Beautiful home set up with everything that we needed, comfortable and clean. Stunning views - felt like we were really away from it all. Loved the village and location - off the beaten path but with access to the local town, Condexia, for food and amenities. The pool was fab for a swim and great in the evening watching the swallows swoop in for a dip. A pair of woodpeckers came by each morning, the buzzards circled overhead and the small birds in the surrounding trees kept us company throughout the day. I will particularly miss the bells chiming from the nearby church. We hope to be back one day.

Portugal on your mind!
We found this small village near Coimbra an ideal place to experience the full range of experiences offered. From the “Farmers Market” in Codexia to the Universty in Coimbra, and many regional historical sites. Our host Steve was easily available and check in was simple. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Portugal at its best. Tim & Irene

Great house & Amazing landscape
We were six (4 adults and 2 children) and had an amazing time. The house is perfect, very cozy, warm decorated and with a great location. In few minutes we were able to be in a restaurant, supermarket, grossery shop... explore Lousã mountains, Aldeias do Xisto and other awesome places around; and still, be in a very quiet and secluded place. The swimming pool, the barbacue and the dining table in the patio with a superb view of the mountains landscape also played a key role in making an incredible week.

Stunning Views & Comfortable Living
The house was spacious, well laid out. And we’ll equipped. The pool was beautiful and a great place to while away a few hours. The views from the front of the property where stunning. We sat and watched birds of prey, swallows and rabbits in the field below. From the house you could walk through the (very sleepy) village of Bem da Fe and enjoy walks through the nearby countryside. You must have a car, as there is very little within walking distance. This isn’t an area packed with things to do other than enjoy a slow pace of life - which is exactly what we wanted.

Place to relax
Very nice place with great view, perfect for relaxing if you do not mind barking dogs in the distance. Although more or less secluded, it is not far from Coimbra and other places you can visit. Obviously you need a car here.

vacances paradisiaques
Le propriétaire Steve est un homme très sympathique et nous met tout de suite en confiance ! La maison est incroyable, l'endroit est propre et ne manque de rien. La piscine et le jardin sont au top pour des vacances, au calme dans un petit village et sans bruit extérieur. Une vue magnifique sur des kilomètres, parfait pour faire un barbecue et manger sur la terrasse. Merci beaucoup Steve pour ces vacances, toute la famille a hâte de revenir !

Fantastisch
Unser Aufenthalt in "Bel Vista" war einfach nur genial! Der Besitzer, Steve, ist ein wundervoller Gastgeber, der einen mit tollen Tipps versorgt und der uns ein grandioses Ferienhaus überlassen hat, welches keine Wünsche offen lässt. Das Haus ist außen wie innen top gepflegt. Der 50 qm große Pool ist traumhaft! Alles absolut sauber und in Schuss. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl! Das Haus liegt am Hang und man hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht, auch direkt vom Bett aus! Es ist absolut ruhig, null Verkehr...eine unglaublich schöne Atmosphäre! Ich würde dieses Haus sowie den Host zu 100 Prozent empfehlen. Dies war unser schönstes Feriendomizil, das wir je gebucht haben. Herzlichen Dank, Steve!

Semaine détente au Portugal
Cette semaine nous a fait beaucoup de bien ! Cette maison est parfaitement adaptée pour 3 couples avec ses 3 chambres et ses 2 salles de bain. Les espaces extérieurs sont parfait et si bien entretenus. La vue de la terrasse est à couper le souffle, on ne s'en lasse pas ! Le village est très calme et nature permettant aux personnes de la ville comme nous de respirer loin de l'agitation du monde.

Quiet location - Beautiful views - Well equipped
We stayed for 4 nights in this comfortable villa. The communication with owner Steve was excellent. He helped us out with finding bicycles last minute while the third party where we had made the reservation failed to deliver...Everything in the villa is as described in the advertisement. Reality beats the pictures (often it is the opposite...). Swimming pool is excellent. Kitchen is well equipped. A car is needed. The village Bendafé lies on a relatively steep slope so walking/cycling requires a reasonable fitness level. Villa also is at two "half" levels.

Cette maison nous apporte toute la sérénité que nous cherchons lors de vacances. Idéale pour un couple, pour des adolescents, pour des enfants. La disposition des pièces permettent à chacun d'avoir pleins de moments sereins. La vue est imprenable, la piscine est très bien entretenue et très grande permettant à chacun l'activité qu'il souhaite. De la maison, les ballades à pied dans les petits chemins de campagne sont exceptionnelles. La ville de Coimbra est très proche. Une de mes plus belles vacances. Merci Steve !
